Preparedness: Your Strongest Ally

Emergency Response Agreement (ERA)
Is Your Disaster Recovery Plan Robust Enough?
A Comprehensive Approach to Disaster Recovery

Smoke and soot odor can seep into various materials, making it hard to eliminate without professional intervention. Being prepared for such an emergency helps reduce delays and gets you back to business faster.

Our Emergency Response Agreement (ERA) is designed to ensure help when you need it most. This agreement guarantees priority service and allows you to pre-arrange targeted actions for immediate smoke and soot removal, along with a pre-determined pricing structure.

An ERA with ATI Restoration is an important part of any comprehensive disaster recovery plan. It enables businesses to act swiftly and decisively, eliminating surprises and avoiding delays.

Comprehensive Commercial Soot and Odor Removal Services

Dealing with smoke and soot odor in a commercial setting isn’t just about eliminating a bad smell—it’s also about creating a healthy and safe environment.

Read About Our Services in Detail...

The thorough elimination of smoke and soot odor from your commercial property may involve services including:

Advanced Nano Filters

Traditional air filtration systems can only do so much. Our advanced Nano Filters capture even the tiniest soot particles and odorous compounds at the nanoscale. These ultra-efficient filters help make sure that no lingering contaminants remain.

Industrial-Strength Air Scrubbers

Our high-capacity air scrubbers are specifically designed to handle commercial spaces. These powerful machines draw in air and pass it through multi-stage filters, efficiently removing airborne particles and odors. This is especially vital in post-fire scenarios where potentially toxic elements are in the air.

Ozone Generators

When it comes to speed and effectiveness, ozone generators are a potent tool. These machines release ozone gas that reacts with odor-causing molecules and pollutants, neutralizing them. Due to its potent effects, ozone treatment is recommended only in unoccupied areas and under professional supervision.

Hydroxyl Technology

Unlike ozone generators, hydroxyl technology can be safely used in occupied spaces. By transforming air contaminants into harmless substances like water and carbon dioxide, hydroxyl machines allow for parallel restoration activities, speeding up the overall recovery process.

Thermal Fogging

Thermal fogging uses heat to create a fog of ultra-fine droplets that penetrate even hard-to-reach areas. This ensures that odorous compounds are neutralized not just in the air but also on surfaces.

HEPA Vacuuming

High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums are used to remove settled soot particles on surfaces. Unlike regular vacuums, HEPA vacuums trap the smallest particles, ensuring thorough cleaning.

Odor Counteracting Beads

For lingering odors that are more stubborn, specialized odor-counteracting beads can be employed. These slowly release a vapor that neutralizes odor, providing a longer-term solution.

Licensed and Certified Restoration and Reconstruction Crews

Smoke and odor neutralization may require restoration and reconstruction services as well. Our technicians are certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and are skilled and experienced in fields including carpentry, masonry, flooring, plastering, and more. By sending the right professionals for every job, we save you money and time.

Our commitment to safety is uncompromising. All of our smoke and soot odor removal treatments adhere to the guidelines and regulations set by OSHA and similarly relevant authorities. You can rest assured that our procedures are not only effective but also conducted with the utmost attention to safety standards.

By combining advanced technologies with time-tested and proven methods, ATI Restoration offers a comprehensive, safe, and effective solution for commercial smoke and soot odor removal.

How Much Does Commercial Soot & Odor Removal Cost?

The overall cost of commercial soot and odor removal is determined by multiple variables, such as the scale of the affected area, the level of contamination, the type of materials impacted, and the sophistication of the technologies required. Labor costs may also vary depending on the complexity and duration of the project.

Calculating the cost of smoke and soot odor removal is an intricate process, requiring a fine balance of technical expertise and real-world experience. Our IICRC-certified professionals utilize advanced assessment techniques and industry-leading software to provide you with an accurate and comprehensive estimate, leaving no room for unpleasant surprises.

The Role of an Emergency Response Agreement (ERA)

One of the most effective ways to manage the financial impact of unforeseen disasters is to establish an Emergency Response Agreement (ERA) with ATI Restoration. An ERA sets the pricing structures in advance, helping you to allocate resources efficiently and make well-informed budget decisions in a time-sensitive situation. This proactive measure gives you a clear understanding of the expenses involved should you ever face an unfortunate event.

Even if you don’t have an ERA in place, ATI Restoration is committed to providing prompt service and honest and accurate estimates. Contact us any time—day or night. We will dispatch a team of restoration professionals within a day to perform a meticulous evaluation, laying out the scope of the necessary work and estimated costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I clean fire damage myself?

It is not recommended. Fires can impact your building's structure, making it hazardous to walk through a damaged area. Smoke, soot, and odors are also dangerous to breathe in touch. Use a professional fire damage restoration company with proven processes for a thorough cleaning.

Why is smoke residue so hard to remove?

Smoke particles are very fine, meaning a surface doesn't have to be visibly porous for them to sink in and stick. Even hard countertops are victim to smoke particles that make smoke removal seem impossible.

How do professionals remove smoke odor?

There are various techniques in removing smoke odor, and depending on the damage, some or all of these techniques may be used. For harder surfaces, the team may use multiple wet cleaning options with different levels of cleaners. A dry cleaning sponge or industrial dry cleaning may be necessary for upholstery or flooring. This can also address soot stains. To better understand the many cleaning options and restoration services available, have your disaster recovery team evaluate the damage and provide the most appropriate options.
